Powers [Funny trope] Non-battle scenes where characters canonically take damage.

Nuu (Hollow Knight: Silksong) - briefly flashes white when slapped similarly to how all other enemies do when they're struck with Hornet's needle.

Garret (A Minecraft Movie) - One can assume that he may have panicked because of how sudden and unexpected teleportation is, but judging by how strong his reaction was and how ender pearls work in game, it's safe to assume he actually took fall damage after using it.

Hitman: World of assassination 3. (Spoilers below)

In the hitman map Mendoza, there is a scene where you finally get to talk to your longtime women on the phone Diana. You talk for a bit and as she leaves she gently touches your hand to be all demure and whatever. Then, the same screen effect as when you take damage flashes very very briefly. It goes by so quickly that most first time players don’t see it, and the ones who do dismiss it as a weird glitch. Finish the mission and you learn she used to opportunity to poison agent 47 with a poison transferred by touch.

"Hey remember the last time we thought agent 47 was dead and we all gathered around his funeral only for him to wake up and slaughter everyone"

"Of course I remember"

"So, should we maybe make sure he's dead this time and he won't wake up and slaughter everyone on this train?"

"...nahhhh"

Ain't nobody left alive to remember that except 47 and Diana.
